Location:
 |
The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans is a remnant
of a vast and ancient “Super Lake” today… the Makgadikgadi has a lunar
landscape but in the Summer months (December to March) it is
transformed into great sheets of water, which attract a spectacular
array of water birds and trigger dramatic migrations of wildebeest and
zebra this is one of Southern Africa’s last true migrations.
When not holding water the entire area with its lunar landscape of
great wide open uninhabited spaces and endless horizons is a perfect
place to get away from it all and you would go far to better
Makgadikgadi Camp.
Nestled among the palms and acacias on Hyena Island, Makgadikgadi
Camp, is located on the edge of the salt pans and adjacent to
Makgadikgadi National Park, a perfect base to explore this unique and
changing land..
Makgadikgadi Camp has been built with a belief that not everything in
Africa is khaki. Traditionally built using local craftsmen and their
knowledge, Makgadikgadi camp is an unique and relaxing environment,
combining Western comforts with the flair and colour of Africa. |

Activities / Wildlife:
 |
At night admire a night
sky seldom seen on earth … talk about the days events whilst sitting
around the flickering fire. Each season has its own particular beauty,
in summer when the rain have arrived the pans come to life, the birds
and vegetation blossom, the migration comes to town, thousand upon
thousand of zebras, enjoy your days watching the bird life, following
the zebra or just relaxing looking at this vast expanse of water.
In winter, the pans dry up the large migrations leave, but the true
desert animals remain, take a night drive to spot the elusive
nocturnal desert species. During the day go out into the pans, either
by vehicle or by bike to visit archaelogical sites of stone age tools
or just to see infinity and the curve of the earth. In both seasons
night drives are a fascinating opportunity to see shy nocturnal desert
species, whilst during the day one can visit historical sites such as
Chapmans and Greens Baobab....Whatever the season you will find plenty
to do, in this vast and magical region |
